rheumatism. l had about saturated"
my entire body. l had pains in every
part of it. My left leg was the worst
affected. Even to-day, though / am
entirely we'll, my left leg is little
smaller than the right, shsiveled from
rheumatism. For five years l may say
that l was in danger Of starvation
from inability to work at my trade on
account ofthis terrible disease. When
I came 10 Corinth from Alabama |
was on crutches for two years. Oh
course during all of these sad years
was attended by good physicians
They gave me powerful doses of po'
fash and sarsaparilla, which did re.
lieve me some for awhile, but l got nc
permanent relief, until, by a friends
persuasion, used S. s. S. l deter.

the thirteenth bottle l weighed 231
pounds, and l weigh that yet. re

best friend, if he will only take it il
time, and thus save him from extrava
giant doctors bills and preserve BIZ

whether from temperament or some
other cause, for the position of Cover

Population and Roads,.

rural country prosperous, and enhance
the value of its property. Population
necessarily comes first and therefore
how to attract and establish It pesma-
nently is the first study to be made.
The only population through which
a country can be built are two-fold,
the artisan and the farmer. Labor is
the base of all-bat labor works for O
remuneration, for on the price Of its
labor depends its living. Tie rule
holds good for both the artisan and
the farmer. LIE! US just take the far
mer as everything springs from agri-
culture. TO attract q farming popu
lation, you require:
First-good lands.
Second-evailable lands as to price
and quantity if to be subdivided, ac-
cording to their location and improve.
meats.
Third-good country roads, this last
being of paramount Importance.
Lands may be good and may be
cheap, but without country roads they
are unavailable.
After the farmer has obtained his
land, give him road and he will seek
and command his own market; there
by making himself independent Of the
trader and giving himself the control
Of his own produce. Hence his lands
being available attain u fixed value
and are always marketable. Of two
markets, one readable by good roads
and the other not-the farmer will al.
ways 60 to the former although prices
may be in favor of the latter.
A farming population is as perma'
nent and as fixed as the land it occu.
pies. When once settled, it will ever
remain, unless thwarted and checked
by circumstances which it is powerless
to control.
Next comes the artisan. His living
depends on his daily labor, therefore
he is migratory and he follows the
laws of supply and demand.
When he comes to you hemust have
at once what he labors for, namely
employment. He cannot wait, for he
consumes daily what he earns, there
fore, he cannot speculate on future
events, What he wants, he mus
have it that instant. 1t follows tina
the industries from which he expect!
to derive his living must be there
ready to employ him.
Furthermore, the industries must b
such that they can employ a larg'
number of hands, for artisans are clan
ish and banker for the association o
their ownd kind.
In fact the whole question require
no argument. The prosperity of
country does not depend on its facili
ties for export, but on its capacity t.
produce. Let production be once es
tablished and expectation follows as
matter of course; for expectation can
not exist without production-bnt pro
duction is from its very nature the Gre
ator of expectation.
All else is moonshine or the resul
Of private aims.
} Population first, for without it al
is wilderness; and roads next, fo
without them property has no value
Create and foster that which vii
employ labor, and you have accom-
plished all. You then retain in you
midst what is most essential-your cap
ital and you attract to you what
still more neutrality-suspicious..

HAWAIIAN ADvICES.
The Results of the Revolution at
Honolulu.

SAN Francisco, August 5.-A spe-
cial dispatch to the Chronicle from a
coast port says: "The bark Colusa,
Captain Charles Barkus, arrived this
morning with Hawaiian advices up to
July 14th. The popular feeling, which
was wrought up to such a pitch during
the riot of June 30th, continued until
the constitution was signed by King
Kalakua on July 10th. The time des-
ignated by that official to affix his sig
nature to the document was
on the 7th, but by various
means he postponed the event
until the popular feeling had become
SO worked up that delay would have
resulted disastrously to himself. Kala-
kua pleaded for time to consider the
eyentful issue at stake, but the people
would not accede and the only alterna-
tive was to afIix his signature, which
he did. The constitution thus deprives
Kalakua of the monarchial power,
heretofore enjoyed, except to draw his
salary and grant pardons.
GIBSON ACQUITTED.
Ex-Prime Minister Gibson was
acquitted on the 18th of the charge of
defrauding the Government. After
the verdict was rendered, Gibson took
passage on the bark John d. Spreckels
for San Francisco, and the bark is now
due here. Business has been re-
sumed, and capitalists who were hold
ing back are investing their money,
and a general feeling prevails that
Hawaii has staple government under

Pete Olsen Captured.

Last evening an inebriated individ-
ual was run into the police station
upon a charge OF drunkenness. To
the CONSERVATION of everyone he
gave the name of Pete Olsen.
1t is claimed that the inebriated
individual is no less a per-
sonaee than the Sonoma county
murderer, for the arrest of whom large
rewards have been offered. Officer
Sheets is the lucky individual who
ensnared the modest Norwegian, and
he felt rather proud Of his capture,
considering the fact that it is the
third arrest he has made. When
Pete gets sober he will give the name
of John johnson.

Henry George says: at is necessary
that the platform to be adopted by the
United Labor party convention, which
is to meet at Syracuse on the 18th,
should firmly and clearly define the
position OF the party with relation to
Socialism. This is rendered necessary
by an organized endeavor of the State
or German Socialistic Association to
impress their popular views upon the
party. This endeavor has become SO
notorious that any disposition to evade
the issue, whether or not the United
Labor party indorses their views,
would give its enemies a spacious pre-
text to make the charge that it does.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 5.-From
present indications, according to a
Change local trade journal, the Cali
fornia honey crop will be one OF the
lightest ever raised. Last years crop
was 2OOO tons, but the dealers say they
cannot count on more than one-tenth
of the average crop. The weather has
been disappointing, and in the heaviest
producing districts vegetation shows
the effect of the hot soaring winds.
The largest arrivals to date have come
from Lompoc, Santa Barbara county.
The crop at Los Angeles is light, as is
also the case at San Diego. The pres
ent stock in this city amounts to about
1000 cases, and prices are reason able,
but advances on these moderate rates
NAV be expected.
